Description
Hello,
Currently if a system has a package that conflicts with a package puppet is trying to install puppet will just give up. Given puppet is a configuration management tool it should be viewed as the authorative source of configuration and ensure that configuration. I have included an output below as an example. What I would prefer the yum handler did in this situation is to force the package install, even if this means removing existing packages.

Destructive actions like this, without an easy way to revert, will always require intervention from the user.
